From the publisher

How do you live with a pet pig in your house? Easy! Granny Gomez’s baby pig Jigsaw is the perfect roommate. He eats watermelon and watches cooking shows-he even does puzzles. But Jigsaw grows up - and out, quickly. Soon he’s too big to get up Granny’s front steps (pigs are bad with stairs). It seems like the only thing they can do is to build Jigsaw a barn. But once the barn is built and Jigsaw moves in, they have another problem…they miss each other like crazy! Surely Granny and Jigsaw can find a solution, if they just put the pieces together… Playful language, subtle repetition, and Scott Magoon’s signature watercolor art make this funny story of friendship a book that kids will want read aloud again and again.
